[Answered] PS2 Controller Compatibilty on PS3 help?

Is there an easy way to find out if PS3 games are compatible with PS2 controllers? The last games I was able to try were NFS Hot Pursuit and NBA 2K11. Neither of them seemed to work with the adapter I had.

If it works for 1 PS3 game or on the menu I'd have thought it would work with them all, I've no idea why it isn't then and the games don't really advertise which ones will or wont work with a PS2 controller so there's no easy way to check for compatibility I'm afraid.

Yeah. I've been using it for a while. I'm not sure what firmware MvC3, MW2 and Black Ops use but I've been playing it with those constantly. I've used it with PSN games also. Especially that Plants vs Zombies that was released a little while back from DUPLEX I think...

The ps3 controllers are a bit expensive but theres no denying they are built very well and are very durable. I never knew that you could use ps2 controlls though and if the adapters are cheap its very interesting.
